"Two years after the Trump administration's first punishing acts towards China, the United States still faces a forever escalating trade war without clear strategies, goals, and endgames," write Dingding Chen and Tiffany Chen.
The title of their August 23 piece on The Diplomat site says it all: "One Year into the U.S.-China Trade War, Trump Is Still Far from Winning."
"We have," Paulson told the Wall Street Journal, "a China attitude, not a China policy."
Yes, Trump has plenty of China attitude, but evident from all that attitude is a policy.
Trump, both before and after the inauguration, complained about the outsized American trade deficit with China.
Although he walked back the comment shortly later, Trump returned to the theme September 1 when he tweeted that importers should find factories outside China so that Americans will not have to be "Servants to the Chinese." Clearly, disengagement is his desired state.
Xi is the one who started decoupling with policies pushing foreign companies out of China, and now Trump is pulling them out with tariffs.
